ULTRA RARE Gale-Begetting Heavenly Four, Tetra Sylphid The esper form of four wind fairy sisters who fly using the large wings sprouting from their heads. It is said that they possess the power to command a flurry of colossal tornadoes, and once they become enraged, there is no one capable of bringing the ensuing chaos under control. Roaring Thunderclap, Ramuh A wizened sage who wields lightning to a frightening degree. Though there are some black mages who can control lightning, Ramuh's breadth of skill and destructive power are far superior. His lightning is believed to be that which judges the corrupt, and those with guilt in their hearts fear him to no end.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

SHOULD I PLAY HELLBOY WEB OF WYRD? If you’re not a die-hard Hellboy fan, you should probably skip this one. Hellboy Web of Wyrd looks like a B.P.R.D. comic brought to life. It’s got spectacular visuals and excellent voice acting (including a lead performance from the late, great Lance Reddick), but it’s just not very fun to play. The sluggish combat and buggy gameplay sapped most of the fun out this game.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re at all a fan of Vampire Survivors and its many clones and imitators. Bio Prototype takes the one-tiny-character-versus-hundreds-of-baddies and adds in a healthy dose of science. You play as a lab experiment gone wrong. Instead of just leveling up and unlocking a growing list of power-ups, you earn both internal and external body parts and must work out a functioning evolutionary path for your creation. This extra layer of depth adds a ton to an already addictive genre of games.

Towaga: Among Shadows is a casual but insanely fun action-adventure game with beautiful 2D visuals and smooth animation that explores a world of darkness from the perspective of a light-bringing warrior. After an hour of monster slaying, I’ve come to enjoy Towaga: Among Shadows’s simple shoot ‘em up gameplay and storyline. In Towaga: Among Shadows, I embarked on an adventure to save a stunning Aztec-themed world from evil monsters seeking to ravage everything in its sight. I had to battle against various creatures using abilities and a beam of light that I could redirect willingly with the swoosh and hold of a finger. I’ve found the story mode more enjoyable so far, despite only dabbling in the game’s survival mode, but I’ve yet to play multiplayer.

There’s never been a better time to be a gamer that loves creepypasta. You can find all kinds of creepypasta games across nearly every possible genre. Bem Feito is a deceptively cute life sim filled with sinister secrets. World of Horror is a 1-bit adventure game that pays homage to classic creepypasta tales as well as the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito. There are multiplayer games inspired by the

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game by Behaviour Interactive. One player is the Killer, while four others are Survivors. The Killer hunts and sacrifices Survivors to appease the Entity, while Survivors must evade capture and power up generators to escape. It's a game absolutely packed with murderous monsters, both original and licensed from other franchises.

The Naked twins from outlast and also the ex security guard just look at them! Naked and scary and the other one will just rip you to shreds

One of the most infamous horror 'chaser' character in a game. The mysterious, faceless pyramid head or "red pyramid". I can still remember my first time seeing it in game , kept me up all night.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it unless you’re a superfan of anything inspired by H.P. Lovecraft or you’re dying for a Metroidvania. The Last Case of Benedict Fox follows a demon-possessed detective who has the ability to jump into the memories of the dead. Using these powers, he’s attempting to find out the dark truth behind what happened to his father, a man heavily involved in occult rituals. It’s a great setup, but the experience is quickly dragged down by clunky controls and frustrating level design.

SHOULD I PLAY VAMPIRE SURVIVORS: EMERGENCY MEETING? If you’ve already sunk dozens or even hundreds of hours into Vampire Survivors, then you’ve probably already bought this add-on. But just in case you were wondering, yes, the new Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting DLC is excellent. It doesn’t seem like this game’s intense, mostly single-player action would be a great match with the social deduction stylings of

SHOULD I PLAY WYTCHWOOD ON MOBILE? Definitely check it out if you haven’t already played it on other platforms. Wytchwood is a cozy crafting game with some seriously spooky vibes. I tested the game on iPhone and Android, and both versions ran perfectly. Moving around and navigating menus is a breeze, and the colorful, creepy visuals look absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect game to play on a dark, stormy night.

SHOULD I PLAY KINGDOM: THE BLOOD? If you’re a huge fan of Netflix’s Kingdom and are looking for a lightweight, grindy action game, this one might be worth checking out. Kingdom: The Blood adapts the mix of historical thriller and zombie horror from that streaming series into a fairly basic action game where you move through levels slicing up zombies, performing combos, and taking on powerful bosses. What’s here isn’t bad by any means, but it feels very stripped-down and bare-bones at the moment, so if you’re interested in something deeper, it may leave you wanting.

SHOULD I PLAY DREDGE: THE PALE REACH? If you dug the creepy, cozy vibes of Dredge, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest DLC. Dredge: The Pale Reach brings this lovecraftian fishing game to colder waters, adding a brand-new icy area to the game. Whether I was catching fish for a mysterious hooded figure, staring at the northern lights, or trying to avoid a surprisingly terrifying narwhal, this DLC really made

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

SHOULD I PLAY WAYFINDER? Avoid it for the time being. Wayfinder’s early access release has been a complete disaster, and beyond the botched launch are deeper issues that need to be addressed. On the night of Wayfinder’s release, the game was completely unplayable for me. Not only could I not log in, but absolutely nothing happened when I clicked the login button. All I could do was stare at the menu and hope the game would be playable eventually.

For me I vote for Left 4 Dead. Because with all that hordes and different zombies like the tanker and witch it makes you overwhelmed when they chase you and sometimes can't even shoot because of the amount of Zombies. But still for me its the best

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re like me and haven’t touched the Layers of Fear series up to this point. Like a lot of horror-heads, I was extremely worried when I heard the news that the long-rumored Silent Hill 2 remake would be developed by Bloober Team, a Polish developer of smaller indie horror games. It didn’t help that the only Bloober Team game I’d played up to that point was the studio’s

The best horor character or "monster" is a Alien! What a genius creature with acid instead of blood.
